Vases
Earns its place, empty or full.
The test of a well-chosen vase is what it looks like when there is nothing in it. A vase that only works when filled with flowers is a vessel. A vase that looks intentional when empty is a decor object. The RCasa vase collection is selected to that standard: every piece has enough silhouette, material weight, and visual presence to earn its place on a surface without depending on what goes inside it.
Styling
Dried botanical stems - pampas grass, cotton stalks, eucalyptus branches, dried wheat - are now widely available in Indian markets and are the natural companion for decorative vases. The surahi form works particularly well with longer stems, given its tall neck, which holds stems upright without requiring floral foam or wire support.
For styling without any stems at all: place the Purple Glass Surahi set of two asymmetrically on a console - one at the back left, one at the front right - and let the pieces read as objects in their own right. Add a small figurine or a single candle holder to complete the arrangement without symmetry.
Why RCasa
Traditional Indian Forms in Modern Glass
The Purple Glass Surahi Decorative Vase, Set of 2, reworks a classic Indian vessel shape in rich jewel-tone glass.
Sculptural Pieces That Change With the Light
The Grey and Black Textured Glass Decor Piece with Ornamental Lid catches the light differently through the day, like a small sculpture.
Glass That Stays Clear and Unscratched
The glass is finished to keep its colour and clarity without clouding, and its surface resists everyday scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Purple Glass Surahi with fresh flowers?
Yes. Both pieces are glass and can hold water safely. Clean the interior regularly if fresh flowers are used frequently to prevent residue build-up.
Are the vases sold individually or as sets?
The Purple Glass Surahi is available as a set of two. The Grey and Black Textured Glass Decor Piece is also available as a set of two.
What dried stems work best with tall vases?
Pampas grass, dried eucalyptus, cotton stalks, dried wheat, and preserved palm leaves all work well with the surahi form. Avoid stems that are too rigid or too dense to allow the vase form to remain visible.
How do I clean the textured glass pieces?
Wipe the exterior with a dry or lightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the textured surface. For interior cleaning, rinse with water and allow to dry completely before placing stems.
Do the vases work in both traditional and contemporary interiors?
Yes. The surahi form reads well in both registers - bringing warmth and cultural reference to a contemporary interior, and fitting naturally in a more traditional space.
